gardening softwares
linux compatible

There are tons of infos to keep while doing a vegetables garden, 
weather, seeds lists, plants lists, garden maps, journal, photos, calendar,
tasks... 
I'd find really useful having some software tools.

I found on the net some options, I tried quite a few... So those days I'm
using some map tools + sowing/planting planning calendar tools. I also made
myself some vegs temp tool  [#0]!

so here is ★a list of softwares★ I found, each ★could be useful while
doing a vegetables garden★.

most those are webapps. any can be used with linux.

if maybe knowing about others, contact [#1].
